Ran my new combo for the 1st time today

[94Cobra]

13.565 at 104mph 2.00 60 foot time. Ran the Nitto Extremes 255/40/17s. I am sure the times would be better with some MT ET street radials.

congrats

+1.....

Congrats, with a little practice and seat time you will easily be in the mid 12's

Where did you run at? What are you shifting at? What was your 1/8th mile MPH and ET?

[gmkillr]

Not bad for the 1st. time out! I'd have to say 42's might be a little bit for your combo. But anyway, your combo is easily capable of a mid to low 12.
Good luck!!

Why dont you post up the details of your whole slip.

I ran at Quaker City - track rental day thru Cruizin Few car club. I was shifting at 5500rpm. I definetely need more practice - I missed the 1 to 2 shift and the 2 to 3 shift on 3 of my passes. Not sure if the synchros are gone or just my technique that is bad. The car felt like it was running out of power in 3rd gear at 2/3 track.

Here is my slip:
RT .715
60 2.000
330 5.779
1/8 8.799
MPH 82.90
1000 11.331
1/4 13.565
MPH 104.48

I think your throttle body may be a little small for the heads, cam and especially the intake you are running.

Can you post a picture of your dyno graph? At what RPM did it make peak HP and TQ? There should definitely be more in it which is a good thing! :)

[gmkillr]

Id say you also need 4.10's and some drag radials or slicks then the 12's will come!

[94Cobra]

Why did it stop making power at 5200 rpms???

[gmkillr]

That is a very low powerband, do you have your cam retarded?
Id figure whith your combo it would pull to 6000-6500 no problem. Somethings up, we just got to figure out what it is. Do you have an aftermarket ignition box? Problem could be there.....

Yea I kinda thought that it would pull alot higher than that too, but its hard to diagnose something like this over the innanets.

I am running the stock TFI ignition, stock distributor and stock 94 fuel rails. My tuner(Don Lasota) told me the stock stuff was good up to 500RWHP, so I kept them. Anyone know how to diagnose the ignition? Perhaps it is falling on its face. The car does have a problem restarting when it is hot. Sometimes I have to wait 10 minutes before it will restart.
Thanks for your input.

A buddy of mine had the same problem with his 95. Never did figure it out before he got rid of the car. I'd be curious to know what causes that.

[Rodeheaver's]

cool

[juice_man_86]

I had a similar problem wit my 86 gt. Changed the module on the distributor and problem solved... at least for me.

[gmkillr]

Possibly the ignition stator??? Mine went bad in my car, and my problem was very similar to your's.

[yeahloh95]

try holding the gas to the floor and see if it starts that way i have to do that with my car during hot starts
